New David Bowie Japanese import CDs - thoughts?

they are the same as the previous virgin remasters, except cool packaging.

The original RCAs, made in Japan or West Germany, are my favourite-sounding Bowies. Hunt around the used CD stores. Mastered without dramatic equalization or compression, better than the remastered CDs or the EMIs. But I have not heard the Japanese imports you refer to. I would be surprised if they are not made from the same source as the current remasters.

Regards,
